Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a milk frothing device for a coffee machine, in particular to a detachable milk frothing device for a coffee machine and a frothing mechanism thereof. Background Art

[0002] A coffee machine is an electrical device used for making coffee, generally divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic types. A semi-automatic coffee machine is a traditional Italian coffee machine that relies on manual operations for grinding, pressing, filling, brewing, and manually removing residue. Some coffee machines require a milk frothing device to enhance the taste of the beverage. Existing coffee machines generally have three ways to achieve milk frothing: a steam wand, a straw, and a milk box. The principles of these three methods are basically the same, all based on the Venturi effect, which uses high-speed steam to draw in air or milk to form milk froth. In existing coffee machines, some devices with milk frothing functions are usually integrated with the main body of the coffee machine, which causes some inconveniences during use and cleaning. On the one hand, the integrated design makes the milk frothing device complex, and the components are fixed with screws, which affects production efficiency. Consumers cannot disassemble the components, making it difficult to perform thorough cleaning. On the other hand, it is easy for bacteria to breed, affecting the hygienic quality of coffee drinks. For this reason, for example, the application number 202410794481.1 disclosed in the Chinese patent literature, the application publication date is 2024.08.16, and the invention name is "A milk frothing device and a coffee machine with the device"; another example is the application number 202310673296.2 disclosed in the Chinese patent literature, the application publication date is 2023.10.03, and the invention name is "Milk frothing device and its milk frothing air intake assembly and button lock assembly"; but the above-mentioned products and similar products mainly remove the box cover by pressing buttons, but after the box cover is removed, the knob in the middle of the bottom of the lower cover of the milk box is rarely used to remove the foamer assembly. At the same time, the internal structure design of the existing foamer assembly is poor, resulting in poor Venturi effect and poor milk frothing effect. The nipple and the milk box occupy a large space, and the layout is not rational. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention aims to provide a fully detachable, detachable coffee machine milk frothing device and its frothing mechanism, free of screw-fastened parts, in the art.
